Vision 2020

"Our vision is that by 2020 no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car."

Håkan Samuelsson, President and CEO, Volvo Cars

Aiming for zero

Reducing the number of people that die or are seriously injured in road traffic accidents to zero is a bold target that we aim to achieve. Protecting and caring for people is at the heart of Volvo Cars’ philosophy and Vision 2020 is our commitment to saving lives.

Knowledge is the key

By continually learning and innovating we aim to put an end to fatalities and severe injuries on the roads. Our methods are unique and far-reaching, combining exhaustive research, computer simulations and thousands of crash tests with data from real-life collisions to make us world leaders in safety.

Technology that saves lives

We have invented some of the most important innovations in the history of car safety – including the three-point safety belt – saving over a million lives in the process. And there’s more to come. Our cars are packed with advanced features that will help us achieve Vision 2020. We are continually working on technology to make future vehicles safer still.
